Bandwagon-jumping

The Sunday Herald has launched a new competition:
BLOGTASTIC SCOTLAND
So you think you can blog?
The Sunday Herald has teamed up with anCnoc whisky to find Scotland's best blogger.

Oh wow! How exciting!
Our new competition is designed to find the best bloggers.

And how do you propose to do that?
That's where you come in. A modern single malt Scotch whisky, anCnoc is a quality dram with accessible yet complex flavours. Distilled at Knockdhu distillery, since 1894, under the dark Knock Hill - known to locals by its Gaelic name of anCnoc - the award-winning single malt is renowned for its outstanding smoothness and support of Scotland's arts and creative scene. It's that vibrancy and excitement that we want bloggers to capture. The title you'll be working to is: "My modern Scotland". When you are ready to write, head over to www.sundayherald.com/blogging and get typing.

So you want me to write an essay about "My modern Scotland"? What has that got to do with blogging?

They can go and get stuffed. I don't mind The Sunday Herald having competitions for good writing but why dress it up as anything to do with blogging?
